Fitness 22/Workout: Gym personal trainer App
I came across this app by accident and decided to give it a try, [well the free options anyway]. Has anyone ever used it? It has just over 2,700 reviews, five stars- people seem to love it. Just wondering if anyone here has ever heard of it? Used it? Worth the money?

Helping a teen lose weight?
I have a 13 yr old step daughter ( lives with us full time) who is wanting/needing to lose weight. She eats a normal healthy breakfast, and takes normal healthy lunches and dinner is generally fine too. The problem is after school, she's home alone for anywhere from 2-3 hours and....she eats like crazy. Some days it could…

Later night workouts...insomnia??
I hope someone can relate. Once in awhile my schedule and life demands a later night workout ( usually done by 9-10 pm) this appears to raise my metabolism/adrenaline/whatever it is to the point of my not being able to sleep- at all- for hours ( last night it was 2 am) . I don't have this problem when working out earlier…

Nauseated after hard workout...
I joined a BodyFit Challenge at my gym ( think Biggest Loser type competition). Last night was our first session with trainer and for most of it I was seriously nauseated...willing myself not to vomit. The one male in our group ran to the bathroom to do just that. I was able to hold off until we were done, but then the…

Question on flour-
I have been hearing for awhile to avoid stuff with white flour/enriched white flour. Now I'm noticing things have enriched wheat flour. Is this better? Is there a difference between " Whole grain wheat flour" and "enriched wheat flour"?

How are percentages calculated?
If I'm trying to figure out the percentage of carbs in my diet, how do I figure that out? 1500 calories/ 100 grams of carbs. 100 divided by 1500? THANKS!

Advice, please!
About 6 weeks ago, I tore a calf muscle while working out. It hurt like hell, I was on crutches for about 2.5 weeks and then about 2 weeks ago I've been walking to strengthen my calf and get back to the place I was before I got hurt. Before I got hurt I had JUST started training for the Couch to 5K, for a charity run in…

Workout Fatigue??
I was injured about 6 weeks ago with a torn muscle and I'm back to excercising. Taking it slow with simple walking and gradually increasing speed and distance. I'll do ANYTHING to avoid another painful torn muscle. Only walking about a 1-1.3 mile so far, but I can feel myself getting a lot stronger already :smile: The…

Hey all- I need motivation NOW!! I need to get back on track but I'm finding it difficult to stop eating.

Bike Classes...which is which?

Excercise with a BONUS!!
This weekend I did a 5K walk for the National Brain Tumor Foundation. It was a great event and it was a perfect way to get in some excercise! Some charity organizations require you raise money, some do not. In any case, whether you want to simply go for a walk or 'practice' running, its a wonderful way to give back.…

First Meeting With a Trainer....
Ive belonged to my gym for roughly 6 or 7 years- they offer three free sessions with a trainer, so after all this time, I decided to take advantage of it.

Tons of Protein, still hungry...
In the past, I've slacked on my protien, and traditionally gotten hungry relatively soon. So I started eating more protien, and the 'hungry quick' went away, but I've noticed it still comes once in awhile. Yesterday I had a protein bar w/ 30 g's protein, and about 2 hrs later I was hungry again...what is the deal?! Any…

another protein question-
If the body can only handle 20 g protein at a time, how long is that for? In other words, if I eat a snack with 20 g. protien, can I have more protein like 2-3 hrs later?

A great idea....Wish we had this!
I was just peeking around on calorie-count.com and I noticed on their food lists, the foods are 'graded' ( A-F) as to how good they are with points like "low sodium" " hight fiber", - basically what makes them 'earn' the grade they get! While looking down a list, it was so cool to be able to see which option is better for…
